Prawns and shrimp are crustaceans, of the family Isopod, and are endemic to our Australian estuary waters. They are toward the top of the food chain for a lot of coastal species of fish including bream, flathead and whiting.
Prawns and shrimp are similar in form and function to each other and have segmented bodies that are almost clear with an olive to tan hue and have distinct legs.
Whilst it can be messy working with epoxy on small flies its well worth the effort as this fly is readily accepted by fish if twitched along or above weed beds or detritus matter.
